He was sentenced to four years for taking bribes from a Chinese cigarette smuggling syndicate. He served only six months of the sentence, and according to Persephone did it at a "federal country club" (probably a minimum security prison). Persephone speculates that Peter Thompson may have helped Vanderfield get out of prison early. Thompson was, at the time, the attorney for Vanderfield's fellow board member, Lawrence Peck.

Vanderfield wound up serving only six months in a federal country club...Maybe Peter Thompson was his attorney?

Trivia

The makers of the Lost Experience were limited with regards to images for the Persephone hack involving Vanderfield, as the image from the Hanso website had been originally taken from stock. This is why the image of Vanderfield in the hack appears blurred as it was likely doctored.
